Glow from elbow 
Sun clicking wrinkles in a meadow
Smiling like daffodils...

each year water’s source recedes

the two footed tackle
we would deem most likely to raise authority’s hackle
so better the elbow
to the back of the head like a blundering backhoe....

Two brothers named Mischa and Sam
Collided elbows with a bam
Both jumped in the air
Said, “This isn’t fair”
Then switched seats to eat eggs and ham...

Long lean limber. sultry, slender,
Pretty pout, neat nails, great grin.
Fatal flaw?
Incredibly clumsy, elbow bumpy,
Tripped twice, shiner. Shucks, chagrin....

viscera besieged 
      elbow deep in ecstasy 

       succumbing to bliss

TOKYO METRO

the eerie silence
packed in with no elbow room —
assignment Japan
           the American’s  mischief
erupts in stifled laughter

If I scraped my elbow
Or skinned my knee
From childlike falls,
(Scars I still carry)
GrandDaddy would laugh
And say with a chuckle,
"Ahhh, now, son...
It'll heal 'fore you marry."...

Huge raffle prize proved quite a shock
A chocolate bunny in a 2 pound block
Son nibbles its ears and then its  ...elbow 
Dirty minds cease - this rabbit's a doe!

A Thought For Today
By: Miracle Man
6/7/2023

Always give God your best, making patience your centerpiece,
Most failures are linked to a shortage of faith, and elbow grease.

Hand holding chin
elbow on rail

she stares
out at the bay

but she is not there;
sad eyes 
say otherwise

Beyond the beauty
of the day

sadness shows
what lies inside-

what beauty- 
cannot hide...

We strike out on objective clash
Were set to meet, make it brash
She throws an elbow, i duck the might
Tackle waist first
Still delite in sight
Wrap an arm, advance position 
Shes still a girl 
With the greatest ambition...

"What is the time?"

The blue coloured sleeve
Plummets to the elbow,
And the precious metal strips
Aiming for numerical notes
Catching in his
Reddened eyes,
Swollen to perplexity
Registers;

"Sorry. I've lost track of it."...

A tenderhearted lad from Schenectady
Gave his elbow to an elderly lady
Helping her across the street,
While never missing a beat
Leaves her happy in a better spot shady.

Upon the rising trail of moonlight
I seek the port in you—
a crook of ivory skin, an elbow
to moor my soul inside

Just as that once lonely moon
upon a field of black
does kiss and fondle gently
the flowing ebon tide...

A punch, a kick

They can't last much longer

They elbow, they knee

How are they still going on

A shot, a knife

I guess its over know

A prayer, some tears

This wouldn't have happened if not for

The fight....

It's a gun metal morning
nail-head rain hammers
a quitting earth.
The sky
is a technical knockout.
Making a third cup
of black coffee,
I elbow a dullness aside,
try a few butterfly steps
get ready
for the daily fight....

Can't touch your right elbow with your right arm
Tried it, now have some psychological problems living on the farm
Maybe there's still hope
Around the barn I mope
Need applicable therapy in the form of a firearm...

feeling powerless
surrendering to passion
hankering for more

curse rhyme or reason
allow your heart to decide 
listen intently

elbow fear aside
seize the moment and hold on
surrender to it

I wrapped myself in veils of lilac
Beauty hid my flawed skin
Slowly they peeled back my layers 
Revealing my imperfections again
My arms reek of blood
From scratches self-induced
Scars and bruises around my elbow
Show all that that produced...

There are two guys in suits and plain ties, smoking cigars at the Wall Street bull, saying nothing.
There is a smelly man with tattered clothes, playing a guitar, with a hose about his elbow.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Not this time....

There was a young fellow called Joe
Who loved to play out in the snow
But he skidded on ice
Somersaulted twice
And broke all three bones in his elbow.

Baggy elbow
Whisking a wow
Flapping & flopping
Constrained by conforming
With ambition

Baggy elbow
Blowing a bow
Swinging & swagging 
Hung from haggling
With normalcy

Baggy elbow
Trying a toe
Cracking & creaking
Tired from trusting
Itself...
